Dermal Fillers in Kopar Khairane, Navi Mumbai

Dermal fillers are gel injections, most often made of hyaluronic acid, that restore lost volume and soften lines and folds in the face. Results are seen straight away and usually last about 6 to 18 months, depending on the product and area. At Apex Multispeciality Hospital, Kopar Khairane, fillers are given by an MD dermatologist after a consultation.

Fillers vs Botox

Fillers add volume to fill lines and hollows. Botulinum toxin (Botox) relaxes muscles to soften expression lines. They are often used for different areas, and sometimes together.

Common treatment areas

Smile lines (nasolabial folds)
Cheeks and under-eye hollows
Lips
Chin and jawline
Some acne scars

The procedure

After a consultation, the filler is injected with a fine needle or cannula, often with numbing cream. It takes about 20 to 45 minutes. Mild swelling and bruising usually settle within a few days.

Risks

Common effects include swelling, redness and bruising. Less common risks include lumps, infection and allergic reaction. Rarely, filler can block a blood vessel, which is a medical emergency. This is why fillers must only be given by a trained doctor who can recognise and treat complications. Hyaluronic acid fillers can be dissolved if needed.

After a filler, seek help immediately if the skin turns pale, white or blue, you have severe pain, or any change in vision. Contact the hospital at +91 85912 35064 or come to the 24/7 Emergency department.

Realistic expectations: results vary from person to person, and no cosmetic treatment can guarantee a specific outcome. Your doctor will explain what is realistic for you before you decide.
